2015 Huddle mock offseason defense FA pool

[DaCityKats]

Free Agency Rules

 

Free agency and player trading will commence on Friday, February 6th 12:00 pm EST. FA officially ends @ the end of the draft. The draft will begin February 26th @ 7:00 pm EST. 

 

The top five URFAs from each team will enter the free agent pool. All other FAs will stay with their original team and you can treat these players just like anyone else under contract. You may also not put those guys on your depth chart if you want. RFA's will remain with the current team they are with, but can be traded away. I will look at overthecap.com, spotrac.com, and walterfootball.com to decide each team top 5 FAs to put into the FA pool. Position, age, and productivity will play a role into the decision.

 

​If your team is currently over the cap, you cannot participate in any free agency bidding. If you would like to participate in free agency, you must first make cuts to your team. Making cuts does free up some money for your team, but you will still be responsible for an amount of that players cap hit for the 2015 year. Cutting rules are later in this thread.

 

Franchise Tag

 

 Each team will be able to franchise one of their free agents. This will cost a set amount based on position and will count towards that teams cap. The deadline for designating a franchise tag will be 8:00pm EST on Wednesday, February 4th. Please post who you wish to franchise tag in the appropriate FA Offense or Defense thread.

 

Prices- Defense

DE- $15

DT- $11

LB- $13

CB- $13

S- $10

Cutting players

 

Each team will be allowed to cut up to 5 players on their roster to create some cap room. Deadline to cut a player is the same as the tag which is Feb, 4th @ 8:00 pm EST.Catch-22 is your player that gets cut now enters the FA pool (which bumps your 5 fa to 10 at most), and you are still on the hook for a % of that player 2015 cap hit based off years left on the contract. 1 year= 20%, 2 years= 30%, 3 years= 40%, 4 years= 50%, and 5+ years= 60%.

 

EX. ​Charles Johnson got $20 cap hit for 2015, with 2 years remaining on his contract. If I cut CJ, I would still be on the hook for $6, and would save $14. 

 

Cap Space

 

At no time can your total outstanding bids be higher than the amount you have to spend! This is up to you and you only to keep track of. If you exceed your spending limit you will be penalized, your total cap space reduced by $10.

 

Bidding on players in FA

 

Players are signed 1 day (exactly 24 hours) from the time of the highest bid. For example, if your high bid was posted on Sunday 1PM the player will officially be signed and added to your roster Monday 1PM so long as nobody outbids you during that 1 day. If someone outbids you, then the day waiting period starts again from the time of their top bid. This 1 day waiting period may be reduced to 12 hours or less toward the end of the free agency period.

 

Home Team Advantage

 

Teams resigning their own free agents will have a couple advantages. First, they can simply match the top offer rather than having to outbid( When matching a offer please put the $ amount as well). Second, they will get a discount off the final price after the player is officially signed. The discount will be applied as followed:

Final bid: $3-$6 = $1 discount.
Final bid: $7-$10 = $2 discount.
Final bid: $11-$14 = $3 discount.
Final bid: $15+ = $4 discount.

If somebody is a FA and appears in the pool, please take them off our depth chart until you win the bid for that player. Again, we will use a combo of walterfootball.com, spotrac.com, and overthecap.com to determine the top 5 FAs from each team.

 

Team Cap Space

 

The projected ceiling is around $140-$144.The ceiling will be $140 for this. We are rolling over cap space from 2014 to increase the spending. Below are the teams and the cap space money. These numbers are from overthecap.com.

So I have a couple questions

1. Since I have the cardinals, I have 8$ to spend on Free Agents?

2. When bidding on a free agent where do you post the bids?

3. Will there be a thread designated for trades?

Honestly I feel like this is a bit over complicated, but it should be fun and your hard work is very appreciated.

thanks.

1. no, your team is currently in the red, which means you are currently over the cap by the amount in the last section on the worksheet. you make some cuts if you choose to participate in FA.

 

2. you post the bids in the appropriate thread. if I'm bidding on a DT, i would place my bid in the defense thread. this thread.

 

3. yes, the trade thread will be up in the next week. but you can go ahead and begin to discuss trades with other GMs via PM.

 

if you have anymore question, just let me know.

[Ken]

Did you forget about JPP?

[DaCityKats]

[DaCityKats]

Do we post the players we cut in this thread? If so I cut Troy Polamalu, Cortez Allen, Shawn Suisham, Cam Thomas. I detailed the contracts in the depth chart page.

 

if they play defense, you post the cuts in this thread.  if its an offensive player, or specialist, you put them in the other FA thread. also the detailed amounts, so i can update the capspace.
